Wondering what you guys will do after the exam, and how to not keep thinking of it to focus on other things?
I had the same feeling about the exam. The PM is more challenging than AM, and my chance to pass is 50%.

When I was studying for each exam I kept a list of all the things I wanted to do but couldn’t, and went back to the list once the exam was over. Oddly enough, doing those things when I didn’t have to study didn’t really have the same appeal lol.
Nonetheless, just take some time to relax, catch up with family, friends, etc. I found it hard not to keep thinking about certain questions, recalculating my odds, etc. but that’s just part of it. The irony is the closer I got to getting results the less I seemed to think about it.

I have the same list, but I have no mood to try them after taking the exam. And like you, all I do now is thinking about the exam questions, my odds of passing …

Visited a classy restaurant that serves an unlimited amount of the best cuts of meat, cooked to perfection from a skewer, with my neglected wife. We drank fine wine, hit several bars and made the day an exceptional one.
Leading up to the exam I took of a good amount of time to study since I wasn’t able to do much during the week due to the hours of my job. I had taken a lot of time off { weekend + 5 days + weekend + 5 days + weekend + 3 days + exam} off straight and studied each day from 8am to 10pm. My brain was totally fried after that.
The day of the exam recovery - I just sat on the couch and had junk food watching tv
The day after - I stupidly went to work on Friday and had a hell of a time concentrating. Everyone said my brain was fried and needed a rest
Afterwards - I don’t venture to make up all those things I didn’t do before. I just do what I want, spend time with my wife, family, and friends and get a small thrill of excitement knowing I would usually be studying right now. Honestly just not having to look at flash cards, do practice problems, or read such dry material is a reward in itself. Even more so when I eventually get that notice saying I passed and won’t even have to open those books again.

After AM I would have said relax and know I’m getting the letters. After PM it’s consider studying for the November exam.

Yep exactly how I felt. I finished pm with an hour to go and redid the whole test. But some questions were just so vague and obscure and had to think over a few times.
Feel The harder topics didn’t come up at all but just definitions and obscure parts of the syllabus…
I averaged 80% for pm mocks (used Fitch) but would be happy to take 65% for pm part of the exam.
